Transit Unplugged

Comfort’s Corner: Changing The Public Narrative During COVID-19


Listen Later

“I think the moment that public transit has right now is to really change the narrative in the COVID-19 environment.”

As COVID-19 affects public transit dramatically, we’re proud to present a special edition of Transit Unplugged led by transit evangelist and Trapeze VP Paul Comfort. In today's episode, we discuss the guidelines released by the CDC for both transit drivers and passengers. We then hear from Elea Carey, who shares why she believes now is public transit’s time to shine, and Paul talks about the impacts of lost farebox revenue. Finally, hear Robbie Makinen’s foreword from the bestselling new book, “The Future of Public Transportation.”
